Hitler imposed gun control on Jews. This is a matter of record. The thought of a bunch of Jews owning guns really upset him. The man was intolerant of Jews with guns.

Drudge ran a photo of Hitler and Stalin right above this headline: White House Threatens ‘Executive Orders’ on Gun Control.
Leftists in the print media went ballistic. Why, the very outrage of implying such a connection between tyranny and gun control! That guy Drudge: he is a disgrace! Read this article.

Historically gun registrations has preceded gun confiscations:

Quote:

The author did let this cat out of the bag: gun registration was part of a program of gun control. “In 1928, the Reichstag relaxed the regulation a bit, but put in place a strict registration regime that required citizens to acquire separate permits to own guns, sell them or carry them.

As everyone with any knowledge of German history in the 1920s knows, the Nazis ignored this law. In 1933, they took over. They suppressed all dissent. How? Because they were armed, while the rest of the population wasn’t. Is there cause and effect here? Salon does not mention this causal sequence. It’s clearly irrelevant, assuming you are a gun control promoter along Weimar lines.

You want to see the logic of these people. Follow this line of reasoning. This is the best that the author can come up with.

The law did prohibit Jews and other persecuted classes from owning guns, but this should not be an indictment of gun control in general. Does the fact that Nazis forced Jews into horrendous ghettos indict urban planning? Should we eliminate all police officers because the Nazis used police officers to oppress and kill the Jews? What about public works — Hitler loved public works projects? Of course not.

I am not making this up. See for yourself. [ See below link to editorial.]

[ Me: As if urban planning/public works squash dissent. This is how leftists put things that are not the same into the same category—an error in logic. ]

Title and Sub Title: The Hitler Gun Control LIE!
Gun rights activists who cite the dictator as a reason against gun control have their history dangerously wrong

Could this be jealousy that Drudge has "many more readers than any other journalist." Gary North says.I know someone here complains routinely about Drudge being used for information.

There's only 1 reason that big govt would want to take away guns from it's people.

And it's the same answer that it's always been...they want total control of us. This isn't fear mongering...it's the truth. That's why the 2nd amendment was put into place...it's so that the people can defend themselves from tyrannical government should it get out of hand...and it has.

This has nothing to do w/ the safety of others...most gun deaths are from inner city gang violence in bad parts of the city. It isn't mass shootings in schools/theatres. Media hypes that shit up so that the tragedy and emotions cause a knee jerk reaction w/ the American people that will allow big govt to swoop in and further push thier own agenda....same thing happened immediately after 9/11. It's all govt. propaganda bullshit.

Article clearly states he's a lap dog for Obama. Let's look at it: Schieffer is for Obama's gun proposals; even says Obama will have to get his hands dirty to get what he wants on guns. He equates gun control to Civil Rights too. How can you not tell where he is on the political spectrum just with these? It's clear he's on the left. The Nazi's were National Socialists and on the left—where all big govt is.

From your link:

Quote:

Who are you calling a Nazi, Bob? First, the Nazis used propaganda and the ‘Greater Good’ argument to demigod lawful gun ownership. Second, the Nazis enacted strict gun control laws by Executive Order. Third, the Nazis confiscated all firearms from its citizens. Sound familiar? [ Just like Obama.]

A little free advice for Bob Schieffer: If you feel the need to opine about historical events on National TV, please get your facts straight. We all know you’re nothing but a lap-dog for President Obama, just don’t be a historically ignorant lap-dog.

So we see here, that Schieffer is being intellectually dishonest by mis-labeling pro-gun types as Nazis. Clearlym Schieffer supported the Nazi's on this issue.

...How can you not tell where he is on the political spectrum just with these? It's clear he's on the left. The Nazi's were National Socialists and on the left—where all big govt is.

BEP - the point of my post was to highlight hypocrisy. Liberals cry foul over linking gun control to Hitler and Stalin. Schieffer gets a pass equating pro-gun lobby with bigots, bin laden, and Nazi Germany.

Okay. Also, I thought you didn't know where Schieffer sat on the political spectrum.

Sorry to interrupt the , but the headline on the linked article says,
"CBS's Bob Schieffer equates ‘Taking on the Gun Lobby’ to ‘Defeating the Nazis'"

So, I kind of expected to see, in the story, the offending statement.

This is the only quote in the story:
Mr. Schieffer actually said, “This is one of the best speeches I’ve ever heard him [Obama] deliver, but it’s going to take more than that from the White House. He’s [Obama] going to have to get his hands dirty.”

Excellent article. Well written.

Whoosh! My point went over your head, Cosmos. As usual. The left, here, on this board cried foul about this yesterday. I've seen it before elsewhere too. Always, using that amount of deaths Hitler caused instead of the gun control that left those people defenseless. Then we see a lefty use it, and inaccurately. Since you can't read and love logical fallacies, I expect as much.

WTF are you talking about? I commented on the article, which made an assertion in its headline which it didn't support in the story whatsoever. A right-wing orgy commenced.

They don't care about grabbing your guns. They care about saying "We've taken steps..." and then letting the media make villains or the Republicans. It's about votes and trying to diminish the image of your opponent now, and for upcoming elections.
It's a sales job, not some ideological conspiracy.
